JLua: Yet another Lua implementation in JavaScript
Why do people put time and effort into a project and then name it as if its a generic, disposable, piece of garbage? Very strange

I have a different objection: the 'J' prefix is standard for projects in
Java
, not JavaScript. 'JSLua' would have been better.
Turns out there's already a Lua-in-Java project that goes by LuaJ:

The problem with the name is that it's almost identical to the Java implementation of Lua which is called LuaJ.

I have no idea, maybe those people are unaware of others will turn a blind eye to what are in the project but complain a lot about the project name. Weird.
